== Involvement ==
Not much is known about Dror Ragzlin's life before coming into service of the Absolute. At some point he would have been infected with a Tadpole and granted command over a large group of goblins.
===Act One===
Ragzlin will be seen first during the cutscene intro to [[Act One]] alongside [[Minthara]], observing the [[Nautiloid]]'s crash.  


Tasked by the Absolute to find a mysterious object, he attempted to interrogate a dead Mind Flayer before running into the party.
====Shattered Sanctum====
The first encounter with him is during Act One in the innermost chamber of the Shattered Sanctum, in the Goblin Camp, where he is attempting to cast [[Speak with Dead]] on a dead Mind Flayer. There, ther party may assist or hinder his attempts at communing with it. After brief dialogue, he may delegate the party to Minthara while he deliberates his next move.

===Act Two===
Ragzlin will be first seen during the cutscene intro to [[Chapter One]] alongside [[Minthara]], observing the [[Nautiloid]]'s crash. The first proper encounter with him is in the innermost chamber of the Shattered Sanctum. There, players may assist or hinder his attempts at communing with the dead Mind Flayer. After brief dialogue, he may delegate the party to Minthara while he deliberates his next move.
====Mind Flayer Colony====
If allowing [[Balthazar]] to take the [[Nightsong]], the party will be tasked with abducting [[Isobel]]. Letting her get killed or knocked out will grant the party an audience with [[Ketheric Thorm]] who will allow the party to pray at the altar of the [[Absolute]]. Doing so will result in being imprisoned in a pod in the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] where [[Balthazar]] will try to recycle the party into zombies.  


== Dialogue ==
In the combat that ensues the party will have to fight against [[Zombie Dror Ragzlin]] (if he did not survive [[Act One]]) and [[Zombie Minthara]] (if she died in [[Act One]] or if she wasn't rescued from [[Moonrise Towers Prison]]).

With limited access to more powerful movement spells in the early game, positioning casters on the rafters and using disabling or limiting spells like [[Darkness]], [[Grease]] or [[Hunger of Hadar]], can allow the party to engage the enemy group safely from afar and greatly reduce the risk of casters that accompany him.
